Oh, the faithful Breton, with its striking stripes and relaxed shape. The French classic is one of the staples of Kate's wardrobe – one of the few prints you'll see her in.

Kate pairs a casual Breton with a chic Chanel jacket and denim, once again sticking to her comfortable, luxurious vibe.

Stay true to tradition and go for a navy blue and white stripe, or a more colorful T-shirt, like this organic cotton top from & Other Stories, £35. Like Kate, you can't go wrong.

THE DENIM from the 70s

When it comes to denim, Ms. Moss has been experimenting with different shapes since 2006

Back in 2006, when you couldn't have afforded the rest of us to be taken out of skinny jeans, Ms. Moss was already experimenting with much cooler and more flattering shapes.

It's definitely time to ditch the once ubiquitous style and loosen up, just like Kate. The high-waisted, wide-leg jeans she wore to London Fashion Week with a simple gray knit were one of her biggest understated looks. It was the embodiment of her “I just threw this on” aesthetic.

River Island has a strikingly similar pair for £50.

Waistcoats in the women's department are a relatively new development. They're everywhere this season, thanks in no small part to Kate.

In 2005, she rocked a tiny black three-button waistcoat at Glastonbury, with a pair of barely-there sequined hot pants.

Wellies completed a memorable Glasto look and made Moss synonymous with the festival.

For an everyday take on the look, you can opt for tuxedo-inspired black, worn with matching trousers, or this sky blue version from Jigsaw that would look perfect with Kate-approved wide-leg jeans.

THE SLOGAN KNITTED

Long before a message on your chest was popular, Kate stepped out in Bella Freud's 'Ginsberg is God' jumper and fashion editors around the world (myself included) scrimped and saved hundreds of pounds for ours.

It has proven to be worth the investment. I still wear mine all these years later – and so do they. Kate is a fan of black and white, but if you want to add a subtle pop of color to an understated look, jumper1234.com has affordable options.

THE KHAKI JACKET

Kate has many versions of the khaki jacket: shacket, with multiple pockets, drawstring, zipper at the front - all perfect for a more polished shopping dash or school run

The ultimate in stylish and wearable, no matter your age. Kate has many versions: underwire, multiple pockets, drawstring, front zip – all perfect for a more polished shopping dash or school run.

The khaki cargo jacket remains one of the most popular transitional styles that you'll find yourself wearing more often as the weather warms up.

I still have one from Topshop, bought in the early 90s after seeing Kate in hers, but if I were to upgrade it would be through Hush and this fantastic oversized number.

THE BALLET PUMPS

They may be everywhere now, but they are a beloved classic for devoted followers of Kate's fashion.

A quick, direct choice that is synonymous with her understated, luxurious style. They've been the supermodel's footwear of choice since the 1990s, and her collection is extensive but defined. To follow in her footsteps, go for chic black or metallic silver with the occasional touch of brilliant red or leopard print, like here at La Redoute en Boden. There's nothing schoolgirl about it, thanks to Kate.
